If you need frustration try roon. Lost connections randomly throughout the night. Meanwhile my Qubuz plays flawlessly thru my ProStreamBox S2. Look at the forum for many examples. Yeah I’m super angry nd frustrated about it.
Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App?
Hi, I stream Tidal MQA and their hifi via my Macbook Pro. I use the Tidal app on the MBpro which unpacks MQA, contains my playlists etc. In the future, I may also stream ripped cds on very rare occasion from a connected hard drive, as well as any hi res audio files I may purchase. However, 99.9% is an is likely to continue to be Tidal streaming. Maybe, just maybe adding Quboz or Amazon in the future...
I feed this from my MAC via USB out to my integrated amp and DAC (Peachtree Nova 300). I have no plans to have a separate server etc in the short term, …but may do so in the future.
I cannot understand what, if anything, Audirvana (or Roon and the like) would bring to.the table in my scenario. Perhaps better MQA unpacking? Slicker interface? Better sound quality?
I would greatly appreciate you all's thoughts on this! Thank you very much.
